Alternatively, Create a view (Access query) to handle roles, then you don't need that superfluous column in your user table and you can modify your view at a later stage to handle additional roles.
eg. create a query with the sql SELECT Username, "DEFAULT" from usertable At some later stage change query to SELECT Username, "DEFAULT" from user table union all select username, realrole from role table (with appropriate joins between user table and role table) I'm not 100% sure that you will be able to use this with the JDBC realm, but I'd be very surprised as it is fairly simple internally and should just select the data out. Almost as simple, and far more flexible.
